Shuzou Hibimura was quite busy these days. The senior players on the basketball team were about to graduate, and their time in the club was running out.
The other second-year players were a bit worrisome in terms of their skills!
Luckily, the first-year players, including Hyuga Hisashi and the rest of their group of five, were able to keep the basketball club going.
But it wasn't enough!
To prepare for the upcoming national tournament, the starters needed to be strong, and the reserves needed to be strong too!
After a period of training together, Hyuga Hisashi and the other five first-year players had become the starting lineup of the basketball team!
However, there was still no one among the reserve players who stood out with their skills.
Shuzou Hibimura suddenly thought of someone, a guy who was always lazy.
Playing basketball was just one of his ways to pass the time.
“He’s the one!”
Shuzou Hibimura left the basketball club and headed straight to an internet cafe outside the school.
Upon entering the internet cafe, sure enough, a white-haired guy was furiously pounding away at the keyboard, a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
“Damn it! What a mess!”
Shuzou Hibimura walked over and slapped the guy on the head!
“What the hell...”
Kise Ryouta was in the middle of a heated game when he suddenly got slapped. How could he tolerate this?
He cursed under his breath and stood up, turning to face the person who had hit him, his face filled with anger.
His fist was already clenched, ready to strike!
When he saw the other person’s face, Kise Ryouta froze.
“Eh? Captain Hibimura! What the hell are you hitting me for?!”
His anger subsided a bit, but not completely.
“You’re not acting like a student at all. Come back to the basketball club with me. Starting today, you'll begin training and join the first team to play!”
Hearing that he would have to train, Kise Ryouta realized that he would have to abandon the wonderful pastime of gaming!
“No! I don’t want to! My teammates are waiting for me to team up with them!”
Kise Ryouta firmly refused!
He sat down and was about to put on his headset.
“Don!”
A dull thud!
This time, it wasn’t a slap.
Shuzou Hibimura punched him on the head.
A red bump grew visibly on his head.
“Ah! It hurts!”
Kise Ryouta jumped up, holding his head with both hands.
“Are you coming or not?”
Shuzou Hibimura raised his fist again.
Kise Ryouta’s expression changed, and he quickly put his hands up to block Shuzou Hibimura’s fist, not even bothering to shut down his computer.
“Brother! What are you doing! Let’s go! Let’s go! It’s just basketball, you know! I’m good at it!”
Shuzou Hibimura smiled, his face betraying no emotion.
Different guys, different methods.
At the basketball club, Hyuga Hisashi and the others were training.
Shuzou Hibimura brought Kise Ryouta over.
“Come on, everyone, gather around! Let me introduce you to the new member!”
When they heard Shuzou Hibimura’s words, the first-year players all gathered around.
They all looked curiously at Kise Ryouta.
Only Hyuga Hisashi looked surprised.
So, he was Kise Ryouta!
No wonder! He liked other people’s things.
He should have guessed it long ago.
Seeing everyone gathered around, Shuzou Hibimura pointed at Kise Ryouta.
“This is Kise Ryouta. He also has a top-notch basketball talent! Starting today, he’s joining the first team! Let’s all train hard together!”
Because there were so many people, Kise Ryouta didn’t see Hyuga Hisashi. With an arrogant expression, he said,
“My name is Kise Ryouta, and you guys are probably no match for me. Just listen to me from now on!”
In the past, Shuzou Hibimura would have landed a punch on his head at this point.
However, there were a few other guys on the team who could control him, so he didn’t have to do it himself.
He just had to let him get beaten into submission so that he would stay obedient once Shuzou Hibimura left.
Seeing how arrogant the newcomer was, Aomine Daiki immediately stepped forward.
“You really think you’re that strong? That’s great! I challenge you!”
Kise Ryouta looked at the dark-skinned boy who suddenly stepped forward, challenging him, and felt a bit dismissive.
At that moment, he caught sight of a figure in his peripheral vision.
Wait!
Am I seeing things?!
Why is that demon here?!
Kise Ryouta rubbed his eyes and looked again.
The demon was actually smiling at him!
Kise Ryouta blinked a few times, confirming he wasn’t mistaken, before swallowing hard.
Hyuga Hisashi smiled at Kise Ryouta. Seeing that Kise Ryouta had noticed him, he said,
“So, you’re Kise Ryouta, right? Welcome to the basketball club! You’re so strong, want to spar with me?”
Even though the other person was smiling friendly and speaking politely, Kise Ryouta still felt the threat in those words.
He immediately shook his head frantically!
“No, no, no, I was just kidding. I’m Little Kise, I’m willing to be your subordinate!”
The other students watched in bewilderment as Kise Ryouta suddenly seemed like a completely different person.
This...is he a multiple personality?
Shuzou Hibimura looked at Hyuga Hisashi in surprise.
He knew Kise Ryouta’s personality, and the only way he could act like this was if...
It turned out that Hyuga Hisashi was not only a skilled basketball player, but also a formidable character!
Kise Ryouta had made a grand entrance into the club, and now he was quietly staying put.
After Kise Ryouta joined, everyone saw his strength.
He was strong!
He wasn’t much weaker than Aomine Daiki and the others.
He was also very enthusiastic in training, which surprised Shuzou Hibimura.
